Transmuting the present • Securing the future

"Let us do it in a concerted rather than a scattered effort.  Let us plan well. it is necessary to clear the entire city, the entire state." (1)

While groups are currently organizing all around the country to help bring about positive change in the U.S., let’s mobilize to do what we do best to clean up the nation, state by state, by wielding the sword of the word to help clean up America.

“To lessen in force or intensity, as wrath, grief, harshness, or pain; moderate; to make less severe: to mitigate a punishment; to make (a person, one's state of mind, disposition, etc.) milder or more gentle.”  (2)

We invite all our brothers and sisters from around the world to join us in our mission to clear America, if you can, through November 2010. After which time, perhaps we will expand our efforts internationally.

(The Pine Ridge Campaign (November 1890 – January 1891) was the
result of a number of unresolved grievances which led to the last major conflict between the US Government and the Sioux.[1] The campaign culminated in a battle at Wounded Knee which turned into a massacre. The Wounded Knee Massacre or the Battle of Wounded Knee was
the last armed conflict between the Great Sioux Nation and the United States of America and of the Indian Wars.)
